Got becalmed yesterday and decided to sit it out - a good idea as I really needed a good rest. There was zero wind not even enough to hove to - so I deployed the flopper stopper - it's still just as useless as ever - maybe it wasn't meant for ocean swell. (The flopper stopper stops the boat from rolling in the swell) The stars were simply magnificent could see lightning off in the distance but it never made it out to me, A slight breeze appeared at 4am and we are off again - feeling quite chipper after a rest!
